Bee Jay was warm, kind, and treated me like family. When I was emotionally distraught after the accidental death of one of my colleagues, my best friend Ingrid invited me to spend the weekend at their lovely Timonium home. Bee Jay and Bill were hosting a holiday party that weekend and I wasn´t sure I would be good company. Spending time with the Bee Jay and the Brustad family, with their quick whit and dry sense of humor made me feel comfortable being around others. Bee Jay will always be in my heart!
